The exhibition also examines works that never came to fruition, including “The Aryan Papers,” a film about the Holocaust.

Experiencing the show is much like entering Kubrick's mind through catalogues of scribbled notes, unpublished works, and shelves of books and research.

LACMA has partnered with The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to bring the exhibition to Southern California from the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt, where the show originated.

Assistant Curator Jarrett Gregory explained that LACMA is investing more in the intersections between art and film, mentioning last year’s Tim Burton exhibit and Christian Marclay’s 24-hour installation “The Clock.”

“There are so many contemporary artists who are influenced by film,” Gregory said of Stanley Kubrick. “It’s also important I think to look the other way, at more commercial filmmakers who are looking at art, and explore that dialogue.”

To coincide with the LACMA exhibit, the motion picture academy will present a Salute to Stanley Kubrick at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater on Wednesday, Nov. 7. It'll include recollections from Kubrick’s friends and colleagues.
